Filmmaker Statement

TUCK & ART GO UPTOWN is part of a 3-piece series that imagines the collaboration process behind quirky, odd couple songwriting duos of the 1970s. Writers David Rosenberg and Tom Nieboer were specifically inspired by Burt Bacharach and Hal David as they dove into creating these characters which also mirror their own collaborative styles. Each piece features a scene accompanied by an intimate music video which gives the audience both sides of the writing process – from disconnected banter to incomparable product. TUCK & ART GO UPTOWN is the second of three episodes in the series, and in many ways is the perfect capsule through which to enjoy the premise. Enjoy!
